Display & storage cabinets

Modern glass door cabinets offer sophisticated storage

When many of us first picture a display cabinet, we remember a traditional oversized style from our younger years. Perhaps it was an aunt’s elaborate cabinet display fashioned from heavy wood and glass, often dominating the dining room with its sheer size. Or maybe it was a smaller corner curio cabinet, with glass shelves precariously brimming with collectibles and figurines. 

Now imagine stylish storage units with a sleek, modern profile that is also importantly much less heavy! 

While many classic curios and vintage cabinet display units are indeed quite beautiful, most simply don’t fit our modern homes, needs and lifestyles. Unlike more traditional ornate designs that take up a ton of space and require frequent dusting, our display storage units are sturdy without being nearly immovable, with clean lines that make them easy to dust and wipe clean. 

Sturdy display storage units that don’t require a crane

If you’ve ever helped someone with many styles of older furniture move, chances are you still remember the stress, sweat and back pain! Just like other things that have evolved to meet changing times, wants and needs, the majority of furniture on the market today is significantly lighter in weight. This is accomplished in a number of ways, including the use of lighter, often modern materials, and through simpler design that doesn’t focus on decorative elements that can easily pack on pounds.

Remember that many of our grandparents lived in the same home or just a few homes throughout their entire lives. When they bought a piece of new furniture, it often stayed where it was placed forever—in part, because no one could lift it to move it.  

Simply put, these aren’t your grandma’s glass door cabinets. But we do hope she’ll like them!
